The Arizona House

This is our Home! We now live in Queen Creek Arizona. I Promise this is our last destination, well until the girls are grown and on thier own. We met the New Home Coordinator when we got here. He gave us our keys and walked us through the house. It was all that we expected. Take a look at the rest !

Well. It didn't take long before Mike and I got tierd of looking at the white flat paint walls. We added some red and put up some decorations that first week.

Ok, I have to share. I used to love going to my sisters Trisha's, Allison's and Carla's home and looking up at the tops of thier cupboards to see all thier little decorations. I have always wanted to do have cupboards like this. So, I copied them all and made a creation. (Well, actually Carla helped me)

this is our Family room. Mike choose a very light taupe color for these walls. If you see the blinds you will notice that the walls are not white. It was fun decorating this room. Mike actually chose the locations of things. He is getting good at this. !

These are the only rooms that are painted and done. We have alot to do. Having flat wall paint is hard to keep clean I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. Hope you liked it !

1st Day Of School !

This is Haylee off to 4th grade ! I'm told the 4th grade is the hardest for kids. No more review its all new stuff. I know she will do her best. Haylee is my Hannah Montana, Camp Rock girl. She dances and twirls around the house. Every word that comes from her mouth is from a Hannah Montana movie. It's amazing how much she knows. We found a great dance studio for her to contiue her dance skills. Her goal is to own her own dance studio one day ! SHe keeps us laughing and busy

Ashle is off to 7th grade. She is excited to be in Junior High. Ashlee is my "Rocker" child. She loves peace signs, and lighting bults, high top shoes, skulls and bones, She has a way of making all that hard stuff look cute and femine. Ashlee is preparing to be on the 7th grade school softball team.

Emalee my big 8th grader, She is getting so beautiful. She loves pretty things and like to look and feel pretty. She is a fun girl who is making lots of friends. All she had to do is carry her Stephanie Myers ' Breaking Dawn" book to school and she had instant friends. Her and her new 5 best friends are planning to come over to make " I love Edward" tshirts to were to the movie when the movie "Twilight" comes out. She read a huge book in 2 days. They she cried just knowing it was over. I love her passion for things. She sets a good example to me.

Well, there they are. My girls. Ready to take on that 1day of school. I shed a few tears as I dropped them off. They walked with confidence to thier doors and didn't look back. I was excited to see them at the end of the day !

This is Ashlee, She graduated from the 6th grade at Mountain View Elementary.She was sooooo ready to be out of Elementary school and on to Junior High School. She did well on her grades. Ashlee, Is my writer,She loves to read and write. Her entire 6th grade class had to write essays on thier life in Elementary School. Her essay was chosen to read at the graduation along with a few other stories. She did a great job and she made her parents proud. She talked about how Elementary school helped her to be the person she is today. She named some of her best teachers, She also spoke about how she would look for others at school who sometimes would look as if they needed a friend and she would make a friend out of them. She also mentioned how she wants to be a social worker to be able to make all children in the world feel safe.
" Bless her little heart" I was proud of her.
